Inside Bac My An Breakfast Market: Mi Quang, Banh Xeo, Avocado Ice Cream | Vietnamese Street Food

It opens on a busy breakfast morning inside Bac My An Market, stall after stall packed with customers: at Quan Na, rice vermicelli tossed with fish sauce and mixed in the bowl, and banh xeo pancakes stacked on plates (bun bowls 25K-30K, banh xeo 10K each on the menu), at Co Cuc, beef sliced thin over bun bo and hot broth ladled over mi quang (25K-30K, special 50K), at Quan Tam, trays of mi quang with prawns and quail eggs plus a mixed rice cake plate (mi quang 25K-30K, rice cakes 30K-35K), and to finish the tour, avocado ice cream scooped into a glass and topped with dried coconut at Co Van's stall (25,000 dong). Then two hours of kitchens: salted coffee and egg coffee made at the bar of a garden cafe with red lanterns and a koi pond, where the egg cream is torched into a caramel crust, a packed pho shop where rare beef turns color under boiling broth, a banh beo stall frying golden ram it rolls and steaming banh nam and banh loc in leaves (banh beo 25K a plate, ten banh loc for 30K), pork offal porridge served from the pot at breakfast, a row of sizzling cast-iron beef skillets (beef skillet from 30K), grilled rice paper folded over charcoal on a rainy night (15K) with jackfruit salad (30K) and crispy fried spring rolls wrapped in mustard leaves, a night market lane with rolled ice cream, fried sweet potato balls and grilled skewers, snails tossed in a wok and scallops grilled with scallion oil, beef hotpot in a clay pot with greens and egg noodles, chicken, okra and corn on a sidewalk charcoal grill, and to close, a fish hotpot with thick fish steaks, tomato and water spinach. No narration, no staging - just the food and the sound of the street.
